Work experience
Self-employed
I provide thorough narrative assessement, developmental editing, and line editing on middle grade, young adult, and select adult projects. Query letters, one-page synopses, pitches, and loglines are my jam. Highly collaborative, I chat with authors via email, phone, or Zoom, as needed throughout the process. As a former literary agent, I have a keen eye for revising plot beats, fleshing out character, and creating compelling and immersive narrative and dialogue.
